Write about the main idea:
The main thing that I profoundly want to avoid in my future is a broken home/family. This is important to me because of how I grew up. I grew up in a household where everyone was close, my parents, brother and I were always together. There was never a distance between any of us. On top of being close to everyone that lives in my household, I also grew up all around my cousins, uncles and aunts. We are a very close family that gets together all the time. It is important to me for things to stay this way and to avoid a broken family in the future because some of my cousins are now living in different states and my brother is in the Marines and will be stationed in different areas. I want to keep the closeness alive even if we are apart and I don’t want to lose that connection and drift apart. Some obstacles that I am aware of is where I will be living in the future after I graduate. I want to be back in Pittsburgh, where most of my family is, but I know that there is no guarantee. the main aspect of this desire that I want to highlight in my design is the brokenness. I could represent this by creating my pieces and cracking it down the middle and setting them apart from one another.
ten words that sum up my want to avoid are:
- separation
- quietness
- broken
- unfamiliar
- travel
- barrier
- jobs
- communication loss
- time
- crack
